Ingredients




 cup extra virgin olive oil, or more as needed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 shallot, minced
4 cloves big of garlic
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, 20 to 30 per pound, peeled, rinsed, and dried
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, Yeah, I used the dried, (mine is withering in the heat we're having)
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine
3 tablespoons butter
Chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation

1 Warm the olive oil in a large, skillet over low heat. 2 There should be enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. 3 Add the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook until just golden, a few minutes. 4 Raise the heat to medium high and add the shrimp and salt and pepper. When the shrimp turn pink on one side, turn them over and add 1/4 cup parsley. 5 Raise the heat slightly and cook until the shrimp are done, about 2 minutes more. 6 Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and white wine, and cook for anothr 30 seconds. 7 Stir in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time until each is incorporated before adding the next. 8 Pour over pasta if desired and garnish with parsley. 9 Serve immediately.

About


We had this served over pappardelle, a wide flat pasta. Simple, classic, yet always delicious and satisfying.
